Across
  1. 1. phospholipid bilayer which is selectively permeable, controlling the entry and exit of substances into and out of the cell (contains cholesterol for rigidity and proteins for transport and signalling)
  2. 4. endoplasmic reticulum membranous organelle without ribosomes and is the site of lipid synthesis
  3. 5. too low = enzyme denaturation, too high = enzyme denaturation
  4. 10. the greater the concentration of this the greater the rate of reaction
  5. 11. the model of enzyme activity that shows the substrate fitting perfectly into the enzyme's active site
  6. 13. movement of a substance down a concentration gradient without energy
  7. 15. occurs in stroma, uses H+ FROM LDR and CO2 to produce glucose (C6H12O6) solid
  8. 16. soup of cell, site of glycolysis (breakdown of glucose into 2 pyruvate)
  9. 20. control centre of the cell, contains DNA
  10. 24. mixture of solute and solvent
  11. 25. A flattened membrane sac inside the chloroplast, site of light-dependent reaction
  12. 27. mitosis (somatic cell division) and cytokinesis (purpose for growth, asexual reproduction, repair, regeneration, renewal)
  13. 29. too low = too slow, too high = enzyme denaturation
  14. 30. the first gap, or growth phase, of the cell cycle, consisting of the portion of interphase before DNA synthesis begins
  15. 32. substance(s) produced in the biological reaction
  16. 34. produced by the nucleolus, 2-subunit organelle made up of rRNA and protein which is the site of protein synthesis
  17. 35. a discontinuously synthesised DNA strand that elongates by means of Okazaki fragments, each synthesised in a 5' to 3' direction away from the replication fork.
  18. 38. inner membrane of mitochondria, site of electron-transferchain (produces H2O)

  22. 42. a substance that is dissolved in a solvent
  23. 45. deoxyribonucleic acid, double-stranded, anti-parallel, double-helical (twisted ladder) molecule, which contains a sugar-phosphate backbone and base-pair rungs (adenine-thymine, cytosine-guanine)
  24. 48. a liquid substance capable of dissolving solutes
  25. 49. when comparing two solutions, the solution with the greater concentration of solutes

Down
  1. 2. organelle containing digestive enzymes to break down substances
  2. 3. the second growth phase of the cell cycle, consisting of the portion of interphase after DNA synthesis occurs
  3. 6. when comparing two solutions, the solution with the lesser concentration of solutes
  4. 7. adenine pairs with thymine (double bond), cytosine pairs with guanine (triple bond)
  5. 8. the model of enzyme activity where the substrate forces the enzyme to alter its shape slightly so it fits better at the enzyme's active site
  6. 9. movement of a substance up a concentration gradient with energy and a transport protein
  7. 12. in animal cells only, organises mitosis
  8. 14. fluid portion of the chloroplast outside of the thylakoids, site of light-independent reaction
